* AliensAreBastards: Garlic Jr. The name of his race is never given, wouldn't be confirmed just yet, but he's a prick none the less.



** Kami tries engaging Garlic Jr. in close combat, knowing the imp had already gained immortality and thus could withstand any offense. Kami was already established as knowing the Mafuba, so he could have saved himself the trouble if he'd just remembered to bring a container with a sealing incantation.



* NonSerialMovie: The film ''would'' actually avert this, since most of the details point to it taking place near the end of the gap between the original ''Manga/DragonBall'' and ''Z''[[note]]Gohan being around the age he was at near the start of ''Z'', Piccolo only working with Goku in an EnemyMine, Krillin not having met Gohan yet[[/note]]...were it not for the fact that 1), Krillin meets Gohan before the Raditz Arc, but doesn't recognize him in the TV series (while this could be explained away on Krillin's part by him hitting his head or something and wiping the memories of the movie away, Gohan doesn't recognize Krillin when they meet in the TV series), and 2), Goku and Piccolo have their talk about weighted clothes in this movie. It's worth noting that the original ''Z'' seems to imply that this movie does happen (or at the very least, the movie is BroadStrokes), due to the [[FillerArc Garlic Jr Arc]] having the villain of this movie come back for revenge. In ''Kai'', on the other hand, the movie's continuity is ''very'' ambiguous - at best, it's BroadStrokes, at worse, it's this trope played straight due to the lack of the Garlic Jr arc.

If we ignore the anime filler, it's possible the film was originally meant to be set ''after'' Goku and Piccolo fought Raditz in a hypothetical timeline where Goku wasn't killed.

* TheWorfEffect: Subverted, it looks like the movie is trying to hype up the villains by having them start the movie by defeating Piccolo, the final and most powerful villain seen int he original series. The truth turns out to be that they only got the better of him because of surprise, numbers, and their boss being involved. None of the bad guys aside from [[BigBad Garlic Junior]] himself is even remotely a threat to Piccolo. (And from all indications, Garlic needs to be transformed to be able to overcome Piccolo.) When Piccolo separates one member of the QuirkyMiniBossSquad from the rest later in the movie, Piccolo wins the fight with almost embarrassing ease.

The story sees a demonic being named Garlic Jr. take over the Lookout Point as revenge against Kami for being chosen over his father for the position of God of Earth, who in turn tried to take it by force, was defeated and cast into the Dead Zone as punishment. Goku gets in on the action when Garlic's lackey kidnap Gohan for the four star dragon ball on his hat, joined shortly by Krillin and Piccolo as they try to stop Garlic from making his wish and taking over the world.

** Garlic Jr. is immortal, and rather than just fighting Goku and Piccolo until he inevitably wins, since he can't die and still had plenty of strength left, he summons the Dead Zone, the one thing that can defeat him.
** Garlic Jr. has his minions track down and attempt to kill Piccolo before he wishes for immortality, even though this will kill Kami and, in turn, deactivate the Dragon Balls.
